1. Select Schlüter-FINEC-AC in accordance with the tile thickness (the aluminium profile with a height of H = 2.5 mm was specifically developed for edging tile to plaster/rendered finishes).
2. Press the trapezoid perforated anchoring leg of the profile firmly into the adhesive and align it (in the case of adjoining plaster or render place the anchoring leg on a suitable adhesive area first).
3. Trowel additional tile adhesive over the trapezoid perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage.

Corner formation with FINEC-AE/-TS/-AC/-E:

The adjoining tiles in the area of the profile must be chamfered by 45°.
When creating 3 way external corners, always start by embedding the pre-fabricated parts of the corner set in the tile adhesive. The following work sequence must be observed:

1. left corner piece (1 trapezoid perforation),
2. right corner piece (2 trapezoid perforations),
3. lower corner piece (3 trapezoid perforations),
4. cut profiles to size and set them in place.

The profile is available in the following finishes:

• AC = colour coated aluminium

Material properties and areas of application

Schlüter-FINEC is available in a wide variety of materials and finishes. In applications exposed to chemical or mechanical stresses, the profile’s suitability must be verified. The information provided below is intended as a general guideline.

FINEC-AC (colour coated aluminium):

The aluminium is pre-treated and powder-coated with a polyurethane covering. The coating is colour-stable, as well as UV- and weather-resistant. Visible edges should be protected against abrasion.
